This is the most epic Santa Sleigh I have ever seen, with over 80 separate parts in the model. I wish I could say it was my design but it isn’t, it was designed by Richard Swika (ricswika on Trinpy). The parts are incredibly detailed and no paint was used, see below for details.

This sleigh will get you from New York to Adelaide in no time flat! The model has a detailed V8 engine, powertrain components, front end ski, sleigh, stand and Santa himself. Richard says he designed all parts from scratch to ensure a successful 3D print and ease of assembly. You can download the files and print your own here, if you hurry you might get it done before Xmas!

Print settings

Print with various infills from 5-20% and some supports are required, all the parts are glued together easily. All the parts were printed in the colours you see here, no painting was done, Richard has organised the parts into coloured batches to make it easier to print. He has also included the Simplify3D files as that was the slicing program he used and includes the supports required etc. I hope you enjoy the print as much as I did!

‘Epic’ doesn’t do it justice :slight_smile: That Santa sleigh is sick! Nice work as always, Andrew

Oh my!

I so need one of these for next year! Will the designer be releasing the stl’s to the public or keeping it private?

I would sign a NDA to get my hands on that for personal and family use… <3

Thanks Gabriela, yeah I thought it was amazing, wish I’d done it :slight_smile:

Hi @JATMN, Richard has released the files on Trinpy, there is a link to download the files in about the middle of the post or you can go to trinpy.com

Cheers
